Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Boston: Drew Pomeranz (0-1, 7.00 ERA)<br />
Los Angeles: Hector Santiago (9-4, 4.28 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Drew Pomeranz goes for the Red Sox tonight and in his last outing he gave up two earned runs in six innings in a 4-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He will be making his 3rd start for the Red Sox after coming over in a trade with the San Diego Padres. He was decent in his last outing for Boston while in his first one he was shelled for five earned runs in only three innings, but the offense bailed him out in a 11-7 Red Sox win over the San Francisco Giants.
</p>
<p>
Hector Santiago gets the call for the Angels and in his last start he gave up two earned runs in five innings in a 6-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. The Angels have won his last six starts and in that span he has given up a total of 11 earned runs. The Angels are 4-0 in Santiago’s last 4 home starts.
